This week from the RNC

President Bush held a press conference this week. Along with his usual rhetoric about the success of the surge and the weakness of Democrats, he got pointy headed about legislation regarding liability for phone companies and his illegal wiretapping scheme. Never mind that such invasions of privacy are unconstitutional. Who cares about the constitution when you're so busy decidin' stuff.



Bulls*&t You Might be Hearing From Republicans Soon



To read this article from the RNC newsletter you might think that Bush is really king of Africa. While I will admit Bush has done some positive things in Africa, namely his AIDS relief package (part of the ONE initiative, you know Bono) and the rather paltry AGOA (African Growth and Opportunity Act), he failed to address the horrific ethnic cleansings in Sudan and even encouraged the seperatist movement now growing in S. Africa. In addition the general elitist policies of big oil and the Bush agenda continue to exacerbate issues of poverty throughout the world. As gleaming skyscrapers rise in Dubai, and wealthy oilmen party around gleaming pools, stuffing themselves with caviar and pheasant, millions starve or are slaughtered in central, western, and southern Africa.



Don't be surprised in an attempt to drum up black voters, Republican blurbsmiths regurgitate beaucoups of information about all the great stuff Bush has done for the colored folks on dat po continent a' Africa.

Obama just a shallow fool

Finally it's clear Republican strategy regarding Obama will be to portray him as a shallow fool incapable of handling the complexities of the presidency. Never mind that when they gaze into the black mirror of their own, they must see that Bush is either a disembling devil, or a slobbering idiot. Perhaps worse than Bush, though is the war mongering dog McCain. Should Obama be chosen to represent the Democratic party in the next election cycle we can expect tons of overblown reportage about any miniscule remark Obama might make that can be woven into their truth distorting web. For example, view this flyer meant to be printed and posted or spammed out telling us all about a remark Barack made about becoming president. I guess they haven't found this video yet of Barack busting a move with Ellen Degeneres. Or maybe they're worried we'll pull out the videos of MC Rove. Whatever the case may be, these guys learned their lessons from spinmeister Karl and will never stop with the nastiness.
